Glen Baker III, a sophomore at Putnam City North High School, had planned to spend the day working at his father’s mechanic shop near Britton Road and Western Avenue. When no customers rolled in, Baker called schoolmate Braxton Booker and asked him to bring his four-wheeler.

Baker, 15, said it was a good way to spend the day.

"Its slick out there, but it’s pretty fun,” he said.
